“What…?!”
“This… this can’t be…!”
“Ah, ah…”
ㅤ
In no time, all the guards were wiped out, and the politicians wore expressions of despair.
Among them, there were some big shots still maintaining a resolute attitude, perhaps out of a sort of pride in protecting their country.
Like the Old Dog Chairman.
ㅤ
By the way, I had killed all the guards and turned them into zombies.
At first, I thought about taming them, but in the end, I prioritized experience points and killed them.
If I tried taming, there would be a risk of losing the experience points.
That would be too wasteful.
As a result, my Lv rose a bit, so it was all good.
Instead, most of my key forces turned into thoughtless zombies, but well, that’s not a problem.
One person taking command on the front line is sufficient.

Now, it’s time for the politicians.
Originally, they should have been the main target, and the guards should have been a bonus.
Somehow, I feel like I made a killing just with the guards.
Well, that doesn’t mean I’m going to go easy on the politicians, though.
ㅤ
I send instructions to the Rock Golems that weren’t damaged in the battle with the guards.
Then, I begin the task of punching the politicians one by one.
ㅤ
“Wait…!”
“Gugya?!”
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
“Hiiiiiiiiii?!”
ㅤ
According to my appraisal, these guys have no combat ability.
Their Lv is low, and their skills are all non-combat related.
So, they are done in by even my dungeon’s weakest pawns, the Rock Golems, without a fight, screaming and running around, getting beaten to a pulp.
Rather, it’s more difficult to hold back so as not to kill them.
ㅤ
However, that task also proceeds fairly quickly, and only the Old Dog Chairman is left.
“Monster…!”
ㅤ
The last target, the Old Dog Chairman, bared his teeth and glared at the Rock Golems.
Honestly, I felt no dignity from the politicians who were just getting beat up in a production line, but this guy is different.
Even in this situation, he has an intensity that the others don’t have.
Indeed, he’s the Chairman.
ㅤ
But, even if he has intensity, it’s meaningless if he doesn’t have strength.
The Old Dog Chairman also takes a hit from a Rock Golem’s fist and gets blown away.
“Guh…! If you’re going to kill me, do it! But killing us here is meaningless. Our country has plenty of replacements for us.
Know that the Republic of Awaldia isn’t a weak country that will waver with this level of disturbance!”
ㅤ
Sure enough.
If they have a system of representatives, unlike a monarchy, they seem likely to have a replacement leader ready at hand.
ㅤ
But, the one who needs to realize something is you.
ㅤ
Realize that I have the power to shake a country.
For now, I order the Rock Golems to continue the group lynching of the Old Dog Chairman who still seems to have some fight left in him.
When he starts spitting up blood, his teeth break, and he loses the strength to stand, I stop the lynching and stand the trainer zombie in front of the Old Dog Chairman, no, in front of all the politicians.
ㅤ
Now, hell begins.
Let you, who support the country, become pests that destroy the country.
ㅤ
“《Tame》.”
ㅤ
Thus, the trainer zombie’s skill of absolute obedience rained down on the politicians.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
◆◆◆
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
After bringing the politicians under control, I returned everyone to the room they were originally in using the teleport function.
This should make it appear as if nothing had happened and the meeting ended normally.
Then, after the meeting, I quickly move to action.
ㅤ
First, I gathered as many soldiers as I could immediately, following the orders of the trained old dog chairman and all the members who attended this meeting.
The aim, of course, is to throw them at Shindou and his team.
However, the soldiers won’t move if I honestly tell them that purpose, so I let the old dog chairman think of an appropriate pretense.
As a result…
ㅤ
“Gentlemen of our proud soldiers. Despite the sudden call, I appreciate your gathering.”
ㅤ
The old dog chairman gives a speech in front of the soldiers gathered over several days.
ㅤ
“Then let’s talk about the purpose of this time immediately.
The reason we gathered you all this time is to recapture the border fortress with the Kingdom of Wolfeus, which has been occupied by the Demon Lord’s army!”
[?!]
ㅤ
Hearing that line, the gathered soldiers are confused and start buzzing.
That’s understandable.
It’s a shock to be suddenly told that the border fortress has been occupied, which is a major disaster, and that’s out of the blue.
Well, it’s all lies, though.
ㅤ
“At present, the border fortress is controlled by the vanguard of the Demon Lord.
However, this enemy uses a stratagem that is unthinkable for a monster, pretending as if nothing has happened on the surface.
It’s all to deceive us and bare their fangs all at once when the time comes.”
ㅤ
The old dog chairman continues his speech.
The soldiers, somehow calming their agitation, listen to the old dog chairman’s story.
ㅤ
“The name of the abominable vanguard of the Demon Lord is Shindou Yuma and his gang!
Yes! The man who pretended to be the hero!
The unforgivable one who killed the real hero and switched places, trying to bring down our country using that name!
That’s the enemy this time!”
[?!]
ㅤ
This time, the soldiers were truly agitated.
From what I heard, the hero is renowned as the hope of mankind sent by the goddess.
Even if they’re suddenly told that he’s already been killed and replaced by a demon, they can’t believe it.
But,
ㅤ
“Quiet down!”
ㅤ
With that one word from the old dog chairman, the soldiers stop moving.
That’s right.
The one telling this story is the charismatic old dog chairman.
His figure certainly had the dignity of one who stands above others.
His words had an irresistible mysterious force and persuasiveness.
An ability that would ordinarily be used to govern the country as a splendid leader.
It’s ironic that this will lead the country to ruin.
ㅤ
“I can’t blame you for being surprised. Even I couldn’t believe it until Sea Submarine, the field commander of the border fortress, told me some information.
But this is the undeniable truth!
If we leave it as it is, our country will go down the path of destruction by the hand of the demon who pretended to be the hero!
Therefore! We need to defeat him before that happens!
Please! I beg you to cooperate!”
ㅤ
While saying that, the old dog chairman bows his head.
The head of the country bowing to mere soldiers was a huge impact.
Most of the soldiers must have felt a sense of mission at this point.
At least, morale should have risen to some extent with this.
ㅤ
“I’ll also go to the battlefield this time! Soldiers! Let’s defeat the enemy who pretended to be the hero with me!”
[Ooooooooh!]
ㅤ
The old dog chairman raises his fist to the sky.
Following that, many soldiers, also raising their fists, let out a war cry.
Among them were quite a few shills that had been trained over the past few days, but even discounting them, the atmosphere was incredible.
With this, a sufficient performance seems promising.
ㅤ
ㅤ
And so, the prepared army set out from the capital to subdue Shindou, the villain who deceitfully used the name of the hero.
On my way, I carefully timed to contact the Demon Lord’s army and informed them of the start of the operation.
With this, the preparations for war were complete.
ㅤ
Now, I wonder what face the Hero, who is supposed to protect humans, will make when he is pointed with a sword by them?
ㅤ
Ideally, I want him to die without a proper resistance in the chaos.
While I was wishing for such a thing, the human and monster armies continued their march towards the border fortress.
